NCW Podcast 53: The World of Children's Books with Laura Backes

by Rich Keller, host of the NCW Podcast

Laura Backes loved children's books so much that she left her job as a literary agent and, along with her husband, created the Children's Book Insider newsletter ans writerforkids.org. Both have become huge successes and a source for children's book writers to learn and network. We talk to Laura this week on the newsletter and website, the current state of reading choices for school-aged children, and how technology has changed the genre. You can listen at PodOmatic, iTunes, or the NCW show page for the program. You can also follow us and leave comments on the episode at iTunes and PodOmatic.
